Academic Preparation

Hi there! I wanted to share some information with you about my academic preparation and background. I do this because I want you to know that I am not just writing my opinions on this webpage or presenting my personal experience. The information presented on this webpage is specifically selected from my professional experience as a pediatric nurse practitioner, researcher, public health nurse, and as a mother.

During my career, I have worked directly with patients and their families, developed and implemented public health initiatives, taught at the university level, conducted research studies, and authored academic and scientific papers, and written a book. For more than 20 years now, I have had the wonderful opportunity to specialize in my favorite areas of health care – pediatrics and public health.

I am passionate about creating and sharing knowledge. Using the latest research, my clients and their families have the best information on which to base their decisions and actions upon. As one of my great nursing professors, Dr. Alice Swan, often said, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Information is power. Knowledge creates choice. Having information that is true and unbiased is empowering. My pursuit of advanced degrees has only deepened my understanding of this reality. I work very had to give my clients all the information they need to make the decisions that will feel good, and remain feeling good, with the passage of time.
